Compared to conventional aircraft, drones are faster and easier to deploy. They are easier to operate and don’t need training as extensive as most aircraft. Also, many drones don’t need a runway, and other types can easily fit in a backpack.Drone operators can provide real-time information without putting themselves at risk. On top of this, that same information also informs commanders where to position their troops to ensure safety.
